Yes, we are aware that Youtube changed something again.

Please be patient while we work on a fix! And please, don't open extra GitHub issues!

Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.

It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany).

Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to a KMZ that renders well in Organic Maps.

Copy / paste can be fiddly on mobile. I opened an MR today to make the paste part a bit easier in phosh-osk-stub (another old branch finally cleaned up into a (hopefully) mergeable state):

Great news from @rainemak / @jolla on #Jolla Community Phone 2 deliveries: They're currently aiming for end of September for flashing the C2s with their partner and starting deliveries of the phone the following week! Looking forward to getting one in my hands and taking a look at the latest developments of #SailfishOS.

Yay! XWayland fractional scaling that @jadahl and I worked on landed in mutter yesterday and will make it into #GNOME 47 🤩

Also big shout-out to the GNOME STF project for funding my work on all this!

Here's postprocessd from #megapixels applying lens distortion and vignetting correction (the wrong values to make it more visible when testing)

This should help a lot with image quality

Holy cow, #Transitous-based #publictransit routing has just landed in the nightly version of #GNOMEMaps, and therefore the number of cities you can get transit directions in… has gone waaaay up! It can even route through a mess like Los Angeles' multiple transit authorities

Big props to @mlundblad for implementing this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/merge_requests/440
